Summer Picnic
A community favourite, the Summer picnic always boasts fun in the sun, activities for all ages, farm animal encounters, and a delicious lunch to enjoy as we all reconnect.
Holiday Party
The festive spirit is alive and well annually at our holiday party. Crafts, cookie decorating, presents, and - of course - a visit from the big guy himself, never fails to bring out the smiles.
Caregiver & Sibling Events
Moms & Dads Night Out
We see you. It's a beautiful life, but at times, a stressful one as well. Making time to get out without the kids and connect with other parents who understand this journey is chicken soup for the soul.
Summer Retreat
A recent, but highly sought after addition, the summer retreat offers an overnight experience of relaxation, connection, and rejuvenation. Keep an eye out for this one because space is limited!
Sibling Outings
The unsung heroes of this journey; siblings are the best cheerleaders, biggest supporters, and swell with empathy for others. Giving them a chance to connect with others in their position reminds them they're not alone
